Steps
to prevent Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes
is a serious disease, affecting millions of Americans
and growing at epidemic rates, with one million new
cases each year.
But,
there is good news: Diabetes can
be prevented. By losing a modest amount of weight
by getting 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days
a week and eating healthier, people with pre-diabetes
can delay or prevent the onset of the disease. The
"Small Steps. Big Rewards. Prevent type 2 Diabetes."
campaign, the first-ever national diabetes prevention
campaign, spreads this important message of hope to
the millions of Americans with pre-diabetes.
To reach those groups at high risk
for diabetes, the NDEP has created tailored materials
and messages for each high risk audience. Click on
